I am 19 years old female I have been crying a lot recently both due to academics and my mother's rude behaviour. I don't have much friends or I can say no friends to rely on. I am preparing for neet exam it's a kind of pressure but my mom keeps on fighting with me every day and makes me cry. I feel like dying as she never listens to me and always uses very harsh words that even makes me have suicidal thoughts. I don't have anyone to share my feelings with no friends, even my mom is like think she never understands me. I always stay lonely.

Both of you go for family counselling with a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist and sort out the issues. Parents sometimes approach their children, like how they were treated by their parents, which may not suit the current generation. It is wise to take professional help in a non-emotional environment to sort out these issues. Good luck.

I'm truly sorry to hear about what you're going through. It sounds like an incredibly tough situation, especially with the pressure from academics and the difficulties at home. Feeling isolated and without support can be overwhelming, but it's important to remember that help is available, and there are people who want to support you through this. Considering your feelings of loneliness and having suicidal thoughts, it's crucial to reach out to a professional who can provide the support and understanding you need. Counseling or therapy can offer a safe space to express your feelings and work through them. In many places, there are also helplines and online services specifically designed for young people going through tough times, offering confidential support. Your mental health is very important, and taking steps to talk to someone, be it a counselor, therapist, or trusted adult, can be a significant first step towards feeling better. You don't have to face this alone.

You are very young and have a full life ahead of you. You have turned a lot of anger towards yourself. You must identify that anger, its origins, and why you feel you need to turn it against yourself. Life is precious and beautiful depending on how you want to see it, and what circumstances you allow to disturb it. Sometimes when we are not able to get what we want, we need to adjust our wants to cope with the situation. People who cannot make these changes to suit the situation end up becoming maladjusted persons and can suffer more problems in life. It is our resilience that is a sign of good mental health. Surely you do not come into that category! please talk to a counselor, either with your mom or without her too, and discuss your problems at length. You do not mention your father. Am I to assume that he is not there or alive or something else? Then the situation is difficult for you and your mom! the counselor will delve into all this and may want you to meet with a psychiatrist, if it is really serious. Even so, do not give up on the counseling and cooperate with both the therapies, sincerely. At your age you will need to see a lot more of life and realize that you are not mature enough to take your life for want of proper understanding of your circumstances. A counselor will do the needful to explain these intricacies of life. Nothing is worth taking your life for. Your anger is making you have these thoughts and if it is not dealt with soon, you could end up depressed or you may already be depressed. Don?t be so rigid. Negotiate everything. There is always a way, if you are flexible. You must learn to love yourself and your life. This life is an opportunity and since you have probably not utilized it well for various unfounded reasons please look at it with other people for other options and it will seem better. People who contemplate suicide are lonely people: just addressing that problem alone you will find good reasons to live. Failed or the threat of failed relationships are at the bottom of most suicides. A newer theory about suicide, devised by an american psychologist called thomas joiner, states that three main factors can cause someone to turn to suicide. They are: ?a perception (usually mistaken) that they are alone and no one cares about them. ?a feeling (again, usually mistaken) that they are a burden on others and that people would be better off if they were dead. ?fearlessness towards pain and death. Fearlessness poses the biggest risk that someone will commit a successful suicide attempt ? they may fear the pain more than the fear of death. Role of relationship problems in depression and suicides. Let's take a look at the common reasons for suicides to become so very common. 1) lack of intimacy- we see that although we are surrounded by people most of people are having friends only on facebook. 2) high demands- for example your neet exams. 3) inappropriate planning. The counselor will help. 4) inability to cope- many people plan to do things but are unable to cope with the harsh realities that come with the plans. 5) lack of results. 6) lack of desire. Therefore, you have to be very prudent in what we are doing today because we can never predict which way our lives may go and even importantly which way you may yourself go based purely on circumstances beyond our control dependent on the choices we make today or others make for us. Although suicide is not a sensible solution to any problem it does remain a common reality. If you are feeling suicidal please remember to seek help. Please meet with a counselor immediately and take someone with you especially your mom. Get all the help and wait patiently because solutions come slowly and gradually. Cultivate perseverance and faith in god and yourself. Above all else learn to love life, and your life too: it is the most precious thing you have and will ever have. Pray and ask others to pray too.
